amazing looks and seems like it gives a strong competition to others on
this particularly note. The sedan shares lot of exterior features with
Nissan's Sunny, but the element which distinguished both are some
styling clues taken from its big brother Renault Fluence, which was
launched in the Indian car market sometime ago and managed to get good
reviews from the critics as well as the consumers. On the front end, the
bumper's design is stylish and the grille is again done to make it look
eye-catchy. While the grille design resembles to that of Fluence, but
certainly it has been made more enhanced and beautiful.
